Field Notes
The Care Of A Laced Hoodie
Wash inside out at 30°C. Avoid bleach, softener, tumble drying, and direct heat on the lacing.
The white decorative lacing crossing both sleeves is the detail most likely to be ruined by ordinary laundry habits. It is also the detail that defines the garment from a distance.
Wash Lunette inside out at 30°C with similar colours. The inside-out position matters: it shields the lacing from the agitation and from direct contact with detergent concentrate.
Do not bleach. Do not use fabric softener. Neither is compatible with the lacing, and softener in particular leaves a film that traps odours in the terry over time.
Do not tumble dry. Reshape the garment while it is still damp and air dry it flat. Tumble heat causes French terry to shrink unevenly and causes cotton lacing to shrink faster than the body it is attached to, which pulls the crossing out of alignment.
Iron inside out on low heat, and keep the iron off the printed and laced details entirely.
